本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛看上了一套dining set, 欧洲古典风格,全部手工制作,从订货到交货,需两个月之久。
太贵,但已收有一套同样signature的bedroom set, 眼光就不可能再屈就了,就像心中有了意中人,朝思梦想,这辈子是无法把她抹掉了。
心动不如行动。
老婆通过市场调研,准确地把握了这套家具美国的MSRP, 也查到了去年boxing day某家高档家具店的价格。她去了一趟,掌握了几个回合后销售人员所能给的价格。这个价格比美国的MSRP, 竟贵了$4600之巨,令人叹息不已啊。
我们最终把协商的目光锁定到了那个意大利老太太,因为bedroom set就是她卖给我们的,比美国的MSRP还低一些,而且只有她,有直接打电话给幕后老板寻最终价的权利。
老婆把具体协商的艰巨的任务,交给了我。我们出发了。
半年已过,老太太依旧打扮得精精神神,雍容华贵,举止得体,一看就是公司创利的大内高手。但可惜最近经济形势不好,这些高档家具的销售,恐怕也很费脑筋,没有点灵活的手段,该怎样完成任务?
一个微笑,我们握了握手,在北美上班,一般是不需握手的,都是同事呗,但这一握手,找回了我在中关村那几年混迹的感觉:哈哈,您这样的,我见得多了,再牛,也是人对不对?老太太,您今天就招了吧!
老太太终于回忆起我们了,满眼神的亮出光彩,谦逊后面是对金子的一抹贪婪,和对即将到来的无尽无休的讨价还价的踌躇,但她还是满脸堆笑的邀请我们入座,
我们相视一笑,高高兴兴的入座了。
"That bedroom set, holy, beautiful, wonderful!"
"Really?! I am glad to hear that ! You know what? That is the world class luxury furniture, and you two deserve it ! "
我一把揽住老婆的肩,"Right after we enjoy the bed set the first time, my wife declared herself as a queen of the world, and I was proud that all that means is: I become a KING".
老太太笑成了一朵花,"Yes, when you were choosing whether buy dinning room set first, or bedroom set first, I told you that bedroom set should be the first, because that is your own to enjoy in life."
"Right ! Now, we come here, we only want to meet you again, for the dinning room set, same style, same signature, no others. We want to make deal TODAY !"
